Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ඎ has the Unicode code point U+0D8E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0D8E to binary:
00001101 10001110. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100000 10110110 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+0D8E, Sinhala Letter Iruuyanna, is an essential component of the Sinhalese script used primarily in digital text for Sinhalese language representation. It serves a crucial role as it represents the consonant "හ" in the Sinhala alphabet, which consists of 41 consonants and 12 vowel signs. The Sinhalese language is predominantly spoken by the majority ethnic group, the Sinhalese people, who reside primarily in Sri Lanka, a beautiful island nation located in South Asia. U+0D8E, Sinhala Letter Iruuyanna, contributes to the cultural and linguistic richness of this language, which has been evolving for over 2,500 years with the influence of ancient Pali and Sanskrit texts. In digital text, it ensures accurate representation and preservation of Sinhalese literature, historical documents, and modern-day communications, thereby playing a pivotal role in the cultural identity and linguistic heritage of the Sinhalese people.
